“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart took a stab at Philadelphians during Wednesday night’s episode.
Stewart was talking about an alleged plot by North Korea to fire a missile at the United States over Independence Day weekend.
A pretty serious subject but nothing ever remains serious on the Daily Show. The comic host compared a missile in the sky during the 4th of July as being like a series of expected events like having a seizure at a rave or being dressed as a drag queen on Halloween.
But Stewart finished him comparisons with a direct knock on Philly sports fans. “Or like being an [expletive] in Philadelphia,” he said.
That’s right, Stewart called us a bunch of a-holes.
Oh yeah, it should be noted that Stewart is a rabid Mets fan. He must just be salty about the whole World Championship thing.
And, he’s a comedian who was certainly just having fun while dealing with a serious topic of possible acts of war. But, still, why is everybody always picking on us?
We should all hassle Stewart -- give him hell. Oh wait -- would we then prove him right?
